Humuhumu’s description

The de Young Museum is located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. An entire wing of the museum is dedicated to a permanent collection of Oceanic Art. The bulk of this is from The Jolika Collection of New Guinea Art, a stunning collection of over 400 pieces of native Papua New Guinea art donated by Marcia and John Friede. Ownership of the collection came under dispute in the middle of 2008, as relatives of the Friedes contended that the collection had been used as collateral on a loan, but hopefully this will be resolved and the collection will remain at the de Young.
